The
new broom
- When
executives move into a new position, especially in a new company,
they often sweep aside established teams and bring in their own
people.
- Is
your team not suited to the organization's needs or have they
just not accepted you?
- Have
you tried to establish your authority before getting accepted
by them?
- Are
you feeling excessive pressure to prove yourself? Did the person
who hired you create unrealistic expectations for you?
- How
can you manage people's expectations to avoid having to act precipitously
to prove yourself?
- How
can you become as comfortable with your new team as you were with
old colleagues?
- How
is this a leadership opportunity for you?
- What
might you do to win them over?
- Are
they feeling loyal to your predecessor? How might you manage their
expectations in a way that would help wean them off this person?
- How
can you help them see acquiring a new boss as an opportunity for
them?
- What
steps can you take to win their loyalty to you?
- This
is an emotional intelligence challenge as well as a leadership
opportunity.
- How
can you deal with your anxieties and their frustrations in a constructive
manner?
- Better
than simply scapegoating and replacing them - not an emotionally
intelligent solution.
